Ya and weirdly enough this time with the addition of the veges it didn't form into a solid loaf. So it came out all like a stew. Even with the egg in it.
Hi @cdpm

Perhaps it needed an extra egg to bind the additional vegetables.
That said, I expect it was easier for you to eat than a solid loaf.

Sounds tasty @cdpm.
Were you in the right spot to experience the total eclipse yesterday? It must have been a spectacular event!
No. I'm actually many miles away but I saw a bit on utube. It was neat.
